OF STALKER STANZAS AND PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE POETRY
THIS POEM IS SUPPOSED TO MAKE YOU THINK IM A NICE GUY
READ ON AND SNEER AT THIS TRANSPARENT ATTEMPT
TO GAIN YOUR SYMPATHY ENTITLED
OPRAH
I WAKE UP
SHES CRYING
ITS PAST MIDNIGHT
THE ROOM IS DARK
ONLY ILLUMINATED
BY THE SHIFTING LIGHT OF THE TELEVISION
SHES NOT BAWLING
JUST LEAKING
AS ONE DOES WHEN TOUCHED BY TV
IT WAS A SNIFFLE THAT WOKE ME
YOU OKAY I ASK
I CANT REMEMBER HER EXACT WORDS
ONLY THE GIST OF THEM
SHE EXPLAINED THAT DR PHIL WAS ON OPRAH
TALKING ABOUT MARRIAGE
HOW ONES SPOUSE
SHOULD BE ONES SAFE PLACE TO LAND
SHOULD NOT BE YET ANOTHER COLD CRUEL AGENT
OF THE BIG BAD WORLD
BUT SHOULD BE A REFUGE FROM IT
WARM LOVING ARMS
AN OASIS
A NEST
A HOME
GUILT OOZED FROM MY GLANDS
HAD I BEEN A SAFE PLACE
ALSO DISCUSSED BY DOC PHIL AND THE OPER
WAS THE FACT THAT MARRIAGE
WAS NOT JUST SOME LEGAL BINDING OR INCORPORATION OF ASSETS
BUT WAS THE GRADUATION FROM ONE FAMILY
TO THE ESTABLISHMENT OF ANOTHER
AS ONES PARENTS PASSED
ONES SIBLINGS MOVED ON
ONES CHILDREN GREW UP
AND ONES FRIENDS CAME AND WENT
THERE WOULD REMAIN
ONES SPOUSE
THROUGH IT ALL
TO TAKE CARE OF ONE
FOREVER
SHE COMPLETED HER EXPLANATION
PEEKED OVER AT ME
LOOKING SMALL AND WEARY
WAITING TO SEE IF I AGREED WITH DOC PHILS
THEORIES ON MATRIMONY
IN A MARRIAGE
THERE ARE MANY TIMES WHEN YOU FIND YOURSELF
BACK ON THE ALTAR
GAZING AT YOUR BETROTHED
REPEATING VOWS AND PROMISING TO KEEP THEM
AGAIN THAT NIGHT
I SAID
I DO
FOR THE LOVELY ZANA
FOR WHOM I CANNOT WRITE ENOUGH POEMS
BUT I HAVE A LIFETIME TO TRY
JUST LIKE RON AND NANCY
